Amazingly, the annual Academic Fair was held in Rundle
Academy’s main Gym on Friday, February 25, 2011 with a
count of 113 students. All the
Elementary kids participated including the junior high with
some high school kids. The Academic fair is so students can
learn more about a topic they are
interested in. The topic doesn’t
have to be science related.
Everyone enjoyed the academic
fair because everyone thought it
was fun researching a topic they
found interesting. The judges
had a tough decision because all
the students did an amazing job.
But they could only pick a few
winners. In the grade four/five
category first place was Evan; in
second place was Ryan and third
place went to Oliver. Overall
Winner was Michael in grade 6,
first place went to William, second place went to Nick, and
third place went to Amy C. They
did a fantastic job. I thought everyone did very well. The teachers thought everyone did well
and so do the parents and relatives.

Even though they could only
pick a few winners, all participants got a certificate for trying
their best. Sarah says “it was a
good experience doing it because I didn’t do a science fair
or something like that in my old
school.” She said she liked the
other projects too!

The Huge and Super Cool
Portable Planetarium!!!!!
Since the grade 6 students in
Rundle Academy have started learning
about sky science the teachers thought
that it would be fun for them to see a
portable planetarium. On Tuesday March
1, 2011 the awesome planetarium came.
From the TELUS World of science
James Darbano came to talk about the
planetarium. James was a wonderful
speaker. He spoke loud and clear and he
knew a lot about the sky and the stars.
He set up in the Elementary gym. The
planetarium looks like a large black igloo.
“The planetarium was so cool and
so fun!!! When you look up you saw
stars and it was in the day time. James
was a very good speaker and he had a lot
of knowledge,” Emily Smith thought
about the planetarium. “I thought it was
cool because it was not cold, you could
look at the stars.” Aia Davis agreed it
was a great experience.
After James told us about the stars
he let us ask questions and Jeremy asked
“How do you know how old the sun is?”

James did not answer but I thought that
it was an interesting question! The sun,
James told us is 4 billion years old. He
also said that in 5 billion years it will
blow up so that means that the sun can
live up to 9 billion years old! He showed
us the stars that we could see in the
North Pole but in the South Pole you can
see different stars. It was so much fun
going into the planetarium. When they
are building the new science center I
hope there is one in there!!!!! If you are
interested in booking the planetarium
then contact Mrs. Moslow for details!!!!!!

session. Today I will interview Mr. Wolf to see why the team is doing so well. All
of your questions about the team will be answered.
Here are some of the questions that will be answered by the girls’ head coach,
Mr. Wolf.
Q: What is the reason the team is doing so well?
A: The team is doing so well is because most of the players have played on
the team before so they already had lots of experience.

A: Their strongest appointment is Clearwater.
Q: Where is your next game?
A: The teams next game is against Clearwater Academy and is going to be
play on March 11, 2011.
According to Mr. Wolf the team will come out with a gold medal and a great
banner to hang with our many other banners. Those girls are a really great team.
The girls made it to the playoffs and will surely come out with gold if they keep
this up. Go Rockies Go. The girls made it to the playoffs and will surely come out
with gold if they keep this up.

Cold Weather Causes Indoor Recess!
The ground hog is wrong. It is still winter and around minus
twenty to thirty Celsius. The freezing weather is causing many indoor
recesses! It affects the kids and the teachers. The teachers stay inside
and have to watch the kids while the students are talking and playing in
the classrooms and in the elementary gym. The indoor recess is happening a lot and because of it, it feels like it is normal for it to happen. The
indoor recess happened throughout February and March.
Brandon said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like indoor recesses when it is cold outside and in an
indoor recess I usually eat and chat to neighbors.â&#x20AC;? Luckily the weather
is brightening up.

This is the book nook. Each
week I will be doing reports.
For this week the book I am doing is “The Giver” by Lois
Lowry.
“The Giver” was a very good
book. I liked “The Giver” because Lois Lowry made a new
world and she made the problem very obvious at the beginning of the book. Although “the
Giver” was a long book at the
end I wished there was more
because it was a cliff-hanger.
In “the Giver” the main characters are Jonas and the Giver.

REEL TIME

WITH

The Giver gives feelings to
Jonas like snow and Christmas
because there are no feelings in
the community. There are no
rights for the people they can
only follow the rules in the
community so it is not a democracy. Jonas runs away
from the community so all the
people get their memories
back ......READ “THE GIVER”
TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS!

The elementary students of Rundle Academy saw a movie
called “The Boathouse Detectives” on Feb. 23, 2011. It
was about kids who have a club house on the water. They
found a letter and they try to figure out who the person was
who wrote it. The six kids have a tree house on the lake
that they meet in. They want to help a girl named Anna
and her dog escape from her evil step mom and bring her to
her lovely, wonderful grandmother.
Miss Kapitza’s class rated the movie 4 stars. “It was
like they were real detectives,” said Emily Smith, in grade
6.
If you like mystery or like pop corn I would recommend this move to you. You can catch the movie on the big
screen at Eau Clair Market during Film Fest.
